Opening Day 2004 (at Kansas City), Sox took a 7-3 lead in the bottom of the ninth, only to give up 6 runs and lose 9-7.

Politte started the inning before giving way to Koch (RBI double, K) before Marte was brought in and promptly blew the save, by giving up a 3-run homer to tie the game, followed by a single and a walk-off 2-run homer to Beltran to end it.
